My builder uses Houzz Pro to plan the timeline and give detailed estimates and daily updates with photos of progress, and provide invoices at pre-agreed key points in the build. This made the whole experience much more efficient and stress-free.

entry wall light

8 years ago
Hi guys I have the following space and am going to install a smoky mirror splashback on the entire back wall in that alcove behind the console . Which selection of light will be apt for this space . I’m inclining towards the industrial shade as it would be nice once it reflects the glass . I feel the led up/ down lights might be too strong . Your thoughts ??? Thanks :)

    Just remember that with the exposed bulbs, you'll see four of them, because of the mirror. Is that a look you'd like? Note, also, that when the source of light is reflected in a mirror, you get double the light in the space, so you might want a dimmer switch so you can modulate it.
